The essence of good discipline is RESPECT.
Respect for authority and respect for others;
Respect for self and respect for rules.
It is an attitude that begins at home, is reinforced
in school, and is applied throughout life.
7 Non-Negotiables:
 Respect ALL
 No electronics during instructional time or during
passing periods.
 No food/drinks (except water) in the building or
classrooms.
 No loitering and loud talking
o No standing on the walls or staircases
o Students are not allowed in an
unsupervised classroom
 Students must leave classrooms with an official pass.
 Students must follow dress code policies.
 Students must exit the campus immediately
afterschool.
Respect for authority is shown by . . .
Listening carefully and quietly.
Being on time, prepared, and ready to learn.
Accepting personal responsibility for your actions.
Respect for others is shown by . . .
Communicating in a polite, supportive and friendly

Respect for rules is shown by . . .
Obeying the policies of Agassi Prep and individual
classrooms.
Considering the spirit of a rule in making decisions.
Realizing that different situations create different
expectations.
Course Description: Geometry is a branch of mathematics that is concerned with the properties of configurations of
geometric objects - points, (straight) lines, and circles. Although the word derives from the Greek geo (earth) and
metron (measure); ultimately, think of Geometry as the visual study of shapes, sizes, patterns, and positions. It occurred
in all cultures, through at least one of these five strands of human activities:
1. building/structures
2. machines/motion
3. navigating/star-gazing
4. art/patterns
5. measurement

Semester grades will be based on the following formulas:
 Quarter 1 grade (45%) + Quarter 2 grade (45%) + Semester 1 exam (10%) = Semester 1 grade
Quarter 3 grade (45%) + Quarter 4 grade (45%) + Semester 2 exam (10%) = Semester 2 grade

FAQ’S
In this course the instructor will present the material through lecture and mixed media. Students
are expected to take notes, complete their own work individually; or in groups when assigned.
Students are also expected to participate in written assignments and discussions in class.
Absences and Failure to follow any of the class expectations will result in loss of participation
points.
• To be successful you must pay attention in class and take good notes.
• To be successful you must do your own work and hand it in on time.
• To be successful you must put forth an effort.
• To be successful you must BE IN SCHOOL!
It is the student’s responsibility to communicate any absences with the instructor.
Plagiarism includes any kind of cheating, such as copying another person’s paper, claiming
another author’s work as your own, copying during an exam, and allowing someone else to copy
your work. The very least that can happen to you if you are caught, is an “F” for the assignment.
See your Student Handbook for specific consequences.
Show RESPECT for yourself, your classmates, and your teacher.
Disruptions and disrespect will NOT be tolerated. Adherence to Agassi Code of Conduct will be
expected and enforced.
ALL written work must be submitted in PENCIL
Remain on task at all times.
Arrive to class on time.
Class starts at the indicated times and your presence is MANDATORY for successfully acquiring
the knowledge and skills to be administered. Being absent from class results in missing pertinent
and vital information.
 QUIZZES/TESTS will be given during each unit, as the teacher feels necessary.
 There may be extra credit assignments as the class progresses.
 You are graded daily on your participation and performance.
 No food or drinks are consumed in the mathematics classroom.

Late work is not tolerated nor accepted in this class. Homework is collected at
various times each class period. If homework has been collected and a student
is late to class without a pass, the student’s homework will not be accepted.
Thus, it is important to get to class on time. If students are absent from class
and their absence is not excused, homework will also NOT be accepted late.
 For excused absences, students have until THE NEXT CLASS BLOCK to turn in
LATE WORK
that homework. For example: if a student is absent on Monday, they have until
the next time they see that teacher (which is Wednesday) to complete and turn
POLICY
in that work. Homework will be posted and can be accessed on the AACPA
website.
If a student is absent for MORE THAN TWO DAYS, they are required to meet with their
teacher for each class missed to schedule a time to complete that work. Since we are
on a block schedule, it is imperative that students do not miss class since each class now
covers twice as much content.
